Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner revealed that Aaron Mooy and Philip Billing are in contention for the trip to Newcastle on Saturday.

Mooy was initially in doubt for the weekend after a minor injury forced him to miss Australia's friendly against Colombia, while Biling also returned early from international duty with Denmark U21's. However, David Wagner confirmed that the pair are expected to resume full training on Friday meaning they could be fit for the clash with Newcastle. "Aaron Mooy and Phil Billing are back on the grass with the fitness coaches and will be back with the group tomorrow," said Wagner. "They are both in contention for Saturday." If Mooy is able to start, he will be expected to partner Jonathan Hogg in central midfield. Should he miss out, then Billing or Dean Whitehead could make the starting XI. Mar 29 - 1:55 PM

David Wagner has been left sweating on the fitness of Aaron Mooy after the Aussie star suffered an unspecified injury setback while on international duty.

The Australian Football Federation confirmed on Tuesday that the Huddersfield Town midfielder, who only recently returned to action following a month out, would not be involved against Colombia after suffering a "minor injury setback". The news will come as a major blow to Wagner who is still reeling from the season-ending ankle injury suffered by Danny Williams earlier this month. Huddersfield sit just three-points above the drop zone and with games against Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea still to come, Wagner cannot afford any slip-ups against teams in the bottom half. If Mooy was to miss out on Tyneside this weekend, then Jonathan Hogg is likely to start in the holding role while veteran midfielder Dean Whitehead, 36, may also come in for his first Premier League start of the campaign having last appeared in a five-minute FA Cup cameo in January.

Huddersfield Town midfielder Aaron Mooy is on course to return to full training next week.

The 27-year-old has been absent the last two matches with a knee infection and will miss Saturday's match against Tottenham. However, manager David Wagner revealed on Thursday that Mooy should be back in full training next week. "Aaron Mooy looks better," Wagner said. "He is back on the grass with the fitness coaches and I expect him in full training next week." Wagner used a 4-2-3-1 formation in consecutive wins over Bournemouth and West Brom, but he may consider a more defensive 4-3-3 system at Wembley, with Jonathan Hogg, Danny Williams and Phil Billing in central midfield.

Huddersfield Town will be without midfield anchor Aaron Mooy on Saturday against West Brom as he recovers from a knee injury.

The Australia international is currently sidelined by a knee infection and will miss at least this weekend's match before he returns. Without Mooy for the trip to The Hawthorns, manager David Wagner will be forced to assess his options and starting XI. Wagner has preferred a 4-3-3 formation away from home this season, while the 4-5-1 formation used in the win over Bournemouth is another viable choice. Wagner has two defensive-minded options in Phil Billing and Danny Williams, while attacking midfielder Alex Pritchard is back in contention after being ineligible for last week's FA Cup defeat at Manchester United.
